Accelerated Systematic Phonics
Year 1 - Foundational Skills for All Ages
I currently offer 1 course, Accelerated Systematic Phonics (with brewing plans for an advanced level 2026/2027). This is a structured, engaging, and research-based course designed to help students master phonics, spelling, and reading fluency at an accelerated pace. Rooted in the Science of Reading, this course provides explicit, systematic instruction that adapts to different learners’ needs, ensuring they build strong literacy skills efficiently and effectively.
What type of learner is this class for?
This course is ideal for students in various stages of their literacy journey, including:
✔ Younger learners 7 years old who grasp concepts quickly and are ready to learn basic through increasingly advanced phonics skills.
✔ Any age of student 2nd-High School who can read well but struggle with spelling and need structured word study.
✔ Students with foundational skills who need to refine accuracy, fluency, and spelling proficiency.
Students in this course benefit from engaging, multisensory instruction that makes learning interactive, fun, and effective.
This course is available in both small group and large group formats.
The small group classes are divided into two age ranges: one for students approximately 8-10 years old and another for students 11 through their teen years. If your child falls near the age cutoff, you may choose the group that best aligns with their developmental needs and learning style.
